Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 445

The offer was straightforward and transparent. If Carlisle wanted to win over the talent, he would have to offer him a salary that would make anyone do a double-take. In this day and age, an annual salary of half a million was nothing short of astonishing. It was likely more than what some small companies made in a year.

As the clock struck at 10:00 pm, Carlisle finished his canned soup, freshened up, and lay down to sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, his phone rang. It was Wade calling.

"Mr. Mora"

"Just Wade is fine, boss," Wade interjected quickly.

Carlisle said, with an apologetic tone, "I didn't know you were getting out today, or I would've picked you up."

"It's fine, boss. You don't have to do that!"

Then, he changed the subject.

"I'm planning to avenge Heath!"

Carlisle frowned.

"Let's wait until Heath wakes up before making any decisions. Don't do anything rash!"

The security in Riverland had been tightened. Despite having his place trashed by Jalen, Titan had swallowed his pride. Wade seeking revenge now would be a bad move.

"But we have nowhere to go!" Wade protested.

"Has everyone been released?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Yes!"

"How many are left?"

"Just over 80. The rest ran off."

"Where were you guys staying before?"

"We had two motels as dormitories, but they've been closed down temporarily..."

"Do you still have money?"

"About 500 thousand dollars. It should last us for about five months."

"I see. I'll have Benjamin transfer some money for you and your loyal men."

After ending the call with Wade, Carlisle dialed Benjamin's number.

"Carl, I was just about to call you!"

"I know what's going on. How are you planning to support Wade and the others?" Carlisle asked.

Benjamin solemnly replied, "I will transfer five million to Wade until Heath wakes up..."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same. How's your brother doing?"

Carlisle had intended to give Wade the 15 million he had gotten from Benjamin, but he worried about what Benjamin might think. So, he decided to have Benjamin transfer the money to Wade, ensuring Wade's unwavering loyalty to Heath and Benjamin.

"Heath woke up once today but quickly fell back into a coma."

Benjamin's voice trembled with excitement.

Carlisle smiled.

"Sounds like he's recovering well. He might fully wake up

within a month."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Carlisle hung up.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Carlisle slipped into his slippers and walked toward the door. Through the peephole, he saw Gareth. He was holding a case of beer with some brisket and wings on top of it.

"Mr. Spencer, you sure have a way of finding people," Carlisle remarked as he opened the door.

Gareth chuckled and made his way to the couch.

"I thought you might be pining away, so I came over to keep you company with a drink."

Carlisle closed the door and sat across from Gareth. He grabbed a can of beer and took a few swigs. He hadn't eaten since noon and was feeling quite hungry.

Gareth watched Carlisle drink in silence before sighing.

"Carlisle, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."

"Go on."

Carlisle took some brisket and munched on it.

Gareth opened a bottle of beer and downed half of it in one go. He looked at Carlisle and opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. He let out another sigh.

"Never mind. Let's just drink."

Wanda's departure had taken a toll on Carlisle. He hadn't smiled in days. Gareth didn't think Carlisle would be able to handle it if he told him the news now.
